We always enjoyed Frank, Dave and Cindy stopping in for a pizza but that was always just the beginning. We enjoyed hours of conversations mostly about sports. We traded stories for hours and had some great laughs, it was awesome! I don't think Frank had a mean bone in his body, always pleasant and we looked forward to seeing him. We are glad we had a chance to meet him and share some good times with him and his family. He will be missed.

I remember Frank's wonderful sense of humor. He loved to talk, and to listen as well. His love for Melissa was apparent in every action. The world was a better place for him having been with us.
